Erling Haaland has been enjoying a well-earned break following his standout performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Manchester City forward, who scored seven goals during the tournament and helped Norway reach their best-ever finish by advancing to the quarter-finals, has been vacationing on the French Riviera with his fiancée, Isabel Haugseng Johansen.
The couple, who have a one-year-old son, began their post-World Cup holiday with a stay in Sicily before heading to Saint-Tropez, a popular destination known for its luxury and vibrant nightlife. During their time on the Mediterranean coast, Haaland was seen embracing a relaxed lifestyle, including spending time on a jet ski while Johansen enjoyed the sun on the beach.
Haaland, 26, marked his birthday with a lively celebration at the Saint-Tropez nightclub &ME, where he was joined by former Manchester City teammate Riyad Mahrez. The Norwegian striker took a turn behind the DJ decks and donned a Viking horns helmet, entertaining the crowd and displaying his playful personality. Observers noted that despite the physical demands of the tournament, Haaland appeared energized and focused on enjoying the festivities with friends and family.
Haaland’s impressive goal tally at the World Cup, which included a notable brace against Brazil, earned him a place in FIFA’s 2026 World Cup Dream XI. Norway’s performance in the tournament concluded with a quarter-final loss to England, but the team’s achievements marked a significant milestone in their football history.
As Haaland transitions from international success back to club football, this holiday serves as a moment of rest and celebration following a tournament that further solidified his reputation as one of the game’s foremost scoring talents.
